This review may contain spoilers
Intertwined multiple stories, only one of which is appealing.
the rating is perhaps inflated due to the one (of 3 stories lines) that appealed to me.
Specifically, the Cinderella storyline is sweet & really watching the lead male smile is all the reason you need to enjoy this short drama.
It took me A long time to hunt this down so that I could watch it (ended up finding it on Plex). The multiple stories were woven together well, but they tried too hard to make too many romantic happy endings. Weirdly the males here were all kind of clueless & Honestly, most the stories didn't appeal to me (not alot of warm fuzzies except from one couple). With the older couple, it was never clear to me who the father of the older woman's daughter was & it was super awkward that the older man really didn't seem to want a romance as he was still very much in love with his dead wife. The storyline of the girl who had a long time crush on one of her best friends-fell flat as her crush was (apparently accidently ?) really sending mixed signals & actually didn't seem all that interested in getting married (he also didn't seem like a "catch" ). I really cringed at the way they resolved the guy who was planning on committing suicide's story. That really felt forced. The Hotel CEO's story was cute, but I wanted to see him to follow his creative dream, so his choice was disappointing. Everyone (important) DOES get thier happy ending & overall it was an enjoyable movie.
One more candid comment:
The Christmas content that was sprinkled throughout hits differently as there is a cultural disconnect -so it doesn't evoke the same meaning as it would in the U.S.
